Hot Hot Hot!

Good day to all of you out there!! I cannot believe how summer has been stalking us here in Houston, and the Humidity oh my lord, that is something I’ve never experienced before. People from here tell me is not even real summer yet, so I don’t know what will happen. One thing for sure is that these past few days I’ve decided to give a rest to my flat and curling irons only because with the humidity my hair does not stay put.

So what I’ve been doing? Well, playing with all the hair products I can to get an easy hairstyle without fighting my wavy hair nature. I got to the point of saying I am letting this battle go and focus on more important stuff like organizing the new apartment (‘cuz this little hoarder hasn’t finished unpacking!). Also, for my makeup I’ve been keeping it very minimal, double wear foundation from Estee Lauder paired with my biggest discovery so far, the NYX matte setting spray, gotta love that stuff because it keeps my face from melting big time and my blush stays on the entire day. A little bit of eyeshadow from my NAKED Basics palette and my beloved ELF eyeliner. A little bit of lip gloss or lip balm and I am good to go.

I love this easy summer routine, today it took me less than 30 minutes to get ready, that has to be a record for me!! And the question of the day is: Do you have any special humidity tips for me? Also I heard hurricane season started, do you know any special things I should do to prepare for that?

Until Next Time

Naked 1 and 2 had a baby

Yep you heard that well, for Christmas my mom and one of my sisters got together and ordered something for me at Sephora, the shipment did not arrive on time for Christmas, but a couple of days later they had a Sephora box for me…I was really excited about this one, but I did not want to write this post until I used it in order to give you my opinion. So as the title says Naked 1 and Naked 2 decided to have a baby named Naked Basics.

I am starting to think that Urban Decay is really getting used to get out their palettes for the Christmassy season for some purpose…but whatever that purpose is, it works, because I got it as a present. And they are determined to release all Naked things as possible (‘cause I just discovered they released a blush-highlight-bronzer and nail polishes). Don’t get me wrong I love Urban Decay products and I really love my Naked 1 and am in the process of loving Naked 2 (shh don’t tell her)…

So my first impressions were, seeing this sleek and compact box which is almost half the size of the Naked 1 and 2 palettes.

And my Wish List?

This past month I’ve been doing research and helping others with Christmas ideas, but today I sat and started thinking, what is my Christmas wish list…well my sister and my mom already asked if I wanted something special, and I could not remember something I would like to receive, so I only added “you can get me a gift card” But giving it more thought these are a couple of things that are really in my wish list.

• Urban Decay NAKED Basics. Ok so Urban Decay strikes again, now with a small and more compact palette with 6 “neutral-matte” shadows. At $27.00 USD, I think it is a pretty good deal if you don’t have anything like this. For instance my sister only owns one makeup palette and would be in the great need of one of this. It looks cute, and I would really like to try it out.

• Josie Maran Argan Oil. I am oily skin over the summer and a bit combination during winter, so you would ask why the heck you want to add more oil to your face. Well the truth is that I’ve been reading reviews about this thing and they say it’s amazing, some even say that heals acne. I really want to try it out so I would ask for the small size because this thing is expensive .05 oz cost $14.00 USD and 1.7 oz cost $48.00 USD.

• NARS Wicked Attraction Set. Now this set it’s quite interesting, it includes a small sample of my beloved eyeshadow primer, a single eyeshadow in fanthom, a mini larger than life lip gloss in spring break, and the most famous duo orgasm blush and laguna bronzer. At $48.00 I think is a pretty good deal.

• Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual (For Everyone from Beginner to Pro). I love Bobbi Brown, I love her products and I love her books, so I’ve really been desiring this book for a while now. At $14.00 from Barnes and Noble I think it is a very good deal.

And that’s it for my wish list we will have to see what happens when Santa comes this Christmas jeje,

What’s on your wish list?

Until Next Time,

xoxo
